2.10 Installing Expansion Cards

Before installing add-in cards, you should ensure that they are fully compatible with your
motherboard. For this reason, we've provided the diagrams below, showing the expansion
slots that appear on your motherboard.
Expansion cards should be pushed firmly into the appropriate slot. Excessive force can
damage both the card and the motherboard and care should be taken.
Unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing
system hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or expansion
cards
